Hello,
I understand your concern and would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and a shoulder X-ray study and a cervical spine X-ray study, coupled with inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR). It could be just local inflammation or bursitis. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
